Say goodbye to your country

"The ultimate aim is one world government - something that will almost certainly lead to wholesale misery right across the planet"

There are a number of forces pushing in the direction of (1) a weakening of the Western nations and their culture, and (2) a consolidation of power right across the globe.

I genuinely fear a global government as I think it would inevitably head towards the worst totalitarian regime imaginable. Indeed, once the global elite (top politicians, billionaires, those in control of the banks, etc) have control over the masses, I think we'd probably end up akin to cattle in a farm.

There is a labyrinth of 'conspiracy theory' type material online on this subject, which you can get lost in. Its a bland comment, but I would judge that some of it is basically correct, but a lot of it isn't. What I would advice, rather, is a general vigilance, not to believe things at face value, especially information emanating from the mass media and governments. What most people don't realise is that the mass media is awash with information put out by corporations and organisations that have specific political agendas. Equally, due to financial pressures, even the major newspapers no longer seem to support investigative journalism as strongly as they did in the past. This is a weakening of a fail-safe mechanism that helped keep various powerful forces in check. All the more reason for us to become more vigilant and more enquiring as to what is happening in our countries.

Turn of the tide: feminists begin to regret

Cosmopolitan (The women's magazine that urges women to use men for sex) Editor Lorraine Candy has a change of mind and now urges women not to have "Soul-less sex":

"We didn't feel ashamed about one-night stands...this, we thought, is what feminism is about."

70s feminist Fay Weldon now says:

"It is the fault of me and my like, who... got it wrong.

So were we wrong, we feminists, setting women free? The results have been devastating – greater than we ever imagined.

We steamed ahead, changing the world with too little caution, and I hope the future will forgive us.

The pendulum has swung too far over. But it may yet swing back again. Societies, thank God, tend to be self-righting."

"Once a man could look forward to starting a family and the dignity that came from being the provider. Forget it. At best as a man you're decorative, look after the kids and earn a bit sometimes; at worst you're a write-off. Women are elbowing the men out. The boys get anxious, the girls swagger. The male suicide rate goes up, female down. Twenty-eight per cent of us now live in single person households - a lonely and unnatural state - and most of the 28 per cent consist of young men. It is strange that it is left to a woman to suggest, in the normal nurturing way, that men start some kind of movement to promote their gender's status and self-esteem - call it masculinism, brotherism, machoism, what you want - and some mark of the success of the feminist movement, that it needs to be done."

60's feminist Doris Lessing now says:"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."

An excerpt from an interview with Joan Rivers:

"She's not with the feminists when it comes to matters of the heart. For her, they're to blame for the current parlous state of our relationships, as depicted in these television Shows (Such as Sex in the city) and films. "I saw this coming. You cannot be equal to a man, you cannot make a man feel 'I don't need you' or 'I'll take my sex when I want it'. All these shows are so sad."

Camille Paglia :

"Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials.

But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper.

Male conspiracy cannot explain ALL female failures.

I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant.

. . . Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species."

PubMed, which indexes the 3,000 leading medical journals, from the 1950s to present, contains 42 articles on women’s health for every one on men’s health.
